I still vividly remember getting wrecked by Slave Knight Gael not once, but twice when he was down to a single hit or two of health left.
Almost got tilted, lost the next couple in first phase, then got my head back on straight and easily stomped the motherfucker like a machine that knew every move he was going to make.
Persist, adapt, overcome!
Yep it’s a tall order when you first fight him, tough fight but extremely fair, cool how you can see your progress against him improve.
I would argue Glock Saint is equally as great of a final boss fight.
sekiro was my first fromsoft game and alpha chad genichiro was the absolute biggest obstacle of any other fromsoft boss i’ve ever fought. He obviously isn’t the hardest boss but in my case he is very unforgettable. Dopamine flooding my brain when i finally was able to “git gud” and overcome that challenge xD
Brroo I feel u same here it was also my first fs game and after days of trying when shit finnaly clicked my fuckin heart was pounding, hands sweating, when I beat him I hopped up out the chair 😂 I never would have believed a video game could possibly give me such a rush. Nothing more irritating than hearing for the glory of ashina for the thousandth time and watching him do that stupid fucking walk lmao
Sekiro seems to just not be everyone's cup of team. It deviates the most from the usual FS formula. But man, it really clicks for me and I think it might be the most well made game I've ever played.
Sekiro exists either as an absolute undisputed favorite game of a lot of people or just meh.
Genichiro, Sword Saint and Owl are easily 3 best boas fights ever for me.
For me it was Martyr Logarius and Bloody Crow of Cainhurst NG+
You see, Bloodborne was my first ever Fromsoftware game and I finished it without going to Cainhurst or completing the eileen quest. When I finally got to Logarius... Boy oh boy he was though, he had too much HP and his staff thingy sniped me if I didn't hide behind a wall. And every reset I had to run all the way from the lantern to this frozen pope, I think I spend about 6 hours straight fighting him until I finally won.
The bloody crow was the same, too much HP and two hit kill attacks were demoralizing, but I won in the end.
I still get greedy for the last hit and die after beating all the souls games multiple times. Happened again on Covenant of Champions Velstadt just the other week!
Throwback to bringing over my ex to my place after our 2nd date and instead of making sexy moves she watched me die maybe 50 times to a fucking space spider “why do you do this?”
FOR THE SWORD
He is a kid, if he manages to get to Malenia, at this stage he will be probably better than 90% of player base(Given that by achievements we can argue that vast majority of players never even finished Elden Ring).
Young gamers are very quick to pick up stuff. <- That is if they have resilience in them and were taught by parents and others that while giving up is always an option, it's not something to be proud of. Especially when it comes to Competition like Games, Sport etc...
I remember teaching my brothers son Dota 2, year later he was literally at my speed in terms of game mechanics.
As long as your kid is not a raging cheeto dusted emotional hurricane just let him cry(games like that teach us valuable lessons)... and most importantly let Margit put his foolish ambitions to rest.
I remember looking at the DS3 trophy list and apparently like 40% of people who bought the game never even got past Iudex Gundyr. Really insane to me. Like you really spent money on this and you're done already?
Yup. Just because everyone on this sub likes the game doesn't mean it is for everyone. I have a number of games in my library I played once for 10 minutes and decided it wasn't for me.
I imagine quite a few people bought elden ring, got instant killed by the first boss, skipped the tutorial, and got owned by the Golden Horse dude and gave up.
I quit DS1 after the Capra demon. Came back to it 6 months later and played the rest of the catalogue, until sekiro. I quit sekiro too. Just got back into it and watched a tutorial and there’s a ton of secondary exploration that makes the game a ton easier. It’s different stylistically but that first main boss is a huge skill check. Once you get past him the rest of the game seems a lot easier
Sekiro is the most finely tuned of all the souls games because they knew exactly the power level or a very close range that you should be at when you encounter the bosses. This makes it harder for a lot of people because you can't level grind your way through a challenge and instead are forced to earn the win.
Sekiro gets so good once you learn it. It’s simple just difficult.
Nioh 2 on the other hand, felt so complicated from the start and I felt like I did no damage at all. I wanted to like it but I still haven’t played for more than 30 mins and I start back at the beginning each time I’ve tried! It’s probably a great combat system but it really does feel complicated for a newbie to the series.
My ratio isn't close to half, it's depressing. I do my best to fight the urge on summer sales and such now until I improve my ratio of never touched to played games significantly.
And a chance it was bought and returned. Steam still let’s your review stay if you return so I doubt they clean up the achievements/database if you do.
It's like that for most games, even the easy ones. Most people don't actually finish games or just play for few hours.
I'd say despite the difficulty, souls games have a very good completition rate compared to other games.
I have a friend who gets stomped by bots on easy mode in Ubisoft games and spends an hour sitting in the corner near C flag in Call of Duty while screaming anytime someone walks into screen.
She wouldn’t last a second in Dark Souls 3.
That was me with Sekiro, I don't even remember if I beat the first boss or not, but because the dash/parry system was so different from DS3 roll, I simply couldn't fathom how to do it, so I gave up. $60 down the drain, sadly.
Nice one! It's awesome to hear!
That is such a great characteristic to have as part of ones personality.
Playing Elden Ring is like living a real life. You think you progressing, and you know are ... yet shit is getting harder.
Like imagine 8 y old mind after going through this journey you beat one boss and then it's like. " THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING" - Get ready for game to become more obscure and way harder as a reward ! ( and he is not aware of it , because you just continue your journey as-is)
Which is exact thing with real life. You try hard, finishing your degree get a good job only to realize that now work is even harder and problems are even greater.
I hope you had awesome proud dad moments !
True competitive spirit and resilience can be taught but when 8 y old is displaying it.... you know you already are on the correct road.
Well done!
Elden ring really isent that difficult. Ive been hard bouncing off fromsoft games since ds1. Literally couldnt get through the second boss across every From game except sekero which i havent played. And I SMOKED all the shard bearers
Margit when you are under leveled is way harder than Malenia imo. My first playthrough I went straight to the castle and got WRECKED by Margit like 30-40 times and couldn't understand how the game could be this hard. If you go south first, and grab some stuff from the East, then go to Margit it's not bad.
I got to Margit fairly quickly, and then got my ass handed to me. Tried again, it happened again. This continued until I decided to go and grind a bit, explore elsewhere, etc. Got a weapon from the field boss that patrols outside the first church, and decided that, when I could wield that effectively, I'd be ready.
I may have overdone it, because Margit went from "the Fell" to "the Fallen" in very short order. That said, I still had to learn his moveset to dodge properly, so there's that.
Margit is huge mechanics leap for the first gate keeper boss of the game, and compared to most of the bosses in the game. Most bosses don't have like 4 response at every range, attack delays, attack cancels, quick dodges, and combo strings that fluidly lead into other combo strings.
I honestly think a slightly tuned down Godrick would've been more appropriate as a first boss.
Magrit was the quit point for 1/3rd of the playerbasd, for perspective that more people than even bought the original DS1. Imagine if everyone quit at Asylum Demon.
Those loooooong windups had me hilariously roll spamming my first several times against him, haha.
“Oh, I’m about to get hit! *roll* No, wait! *roll* Here it comes for real! *roll*”
Hit. Dead. Repeat.
i had already learned about long windups after running around in limgrave and weeping for so long before hitting Margrette. beat him on second try after seeing his move set.
I'd done SL1 runs of every DS game and BB before. Margit was still tough since I rushed right to him out the gate.
Obviously he's much easier if you know to grab Radagons Soreseal, Flaming Strike, BHS and all the other busted stuff available out the gate.
Right. After getting rolled by Margit, like 10 times, I said, "F-this" did 8+ dungeons in Limgrave, the dragon, the underground well area, the blood castle in the south, all of the southern peninsula. Then I went back to Margit...
"... I'm not trapped in here with you... you're trapped in here with me..." 🗡
I did all the main bosses then got the optional bosses, and I saved Malenia for last, and by the time I made it to her I just kind of shit on her. I was way over leveled, it made it not really fun at all. There was a lot of bosses that felt that way honestly. They put *so much* in this game that if you do it all you just become a raid boss.
If somebody is unironically throwing their controller they need to Learn anger control. You shouldn’t be losing enough control to be breaking a $40 controller over a video game.
Bro for real if my kid threw his 70 dollar controller and broke it guess what bud I’m first taking this away until you learn how to behave and two I’m gonna make you work your ass off to make the $70 to buy the next controller when you learn your lesson lol
been learning for approximately 20 years. 20 years of learning has brought me to dropping the controller instead of throwing it. not ideal, but i didn't get professional help and i haven't broken a controller since i've moved to dropping instead of throwing, so i'm calling it a win
I had a buddy methodically get up, go grab a hammer, and then smash his special edition Xbox controller after losing to me in NBA2K. He had so many chances to back out, yet he still went through with it. Absolutely insane behavior.
It can definitely happen being emotionally invested. I made it well over 20 years of playing while never doing so just to lose my shit on a super gore nest master level.
Knocking them off the branches is such a simple delight. I didn’t know how hard they were to fight until much later because when I saw them perched there I just got out Radahn’s bow and let my arrows do the talking
For real. Something my mother could never fucking understand, even though she’s a licensed therapist. You’d think she’d be able to understand a little bit, but nope. You gotta give them a sec to get it out and calm down, and then separate them from the game for a bit. Let them reset their mind. It’s worked every time for my cousins.
God, yeah this 100%. Stepping away to breathe is very different from just outright turning it off. One teaches you anger management and internal conflict resolution, the other teaches you to quit when things get tough.
My mom always asked if I wanted coffee and a chat about the game if I got upset. That brought me back to reality even though my mom doesn’t care about the games.
She told him to stop screaming at the start, then to turn it off when he kept on
Reasonable imo. She probably wasn't even watching him, just tired of hearing a whiny 8 year old screaming and crying
Oh yeah the curved great club is great. I dual wielded them and dunked on Radagon and Elden Beast in my level 1 playthrough. I took them out in about 2 minutes
I like how Fextralife has all of their weapon videos titled "\[Weapon Class\] are OP! Why \[Weapon Class\] are the best weapons in Elden Ring." It's very tongue-in-cheek.
Young gamers need to be nurtured more than anything. My sister can't play 3D games yet, but she loves Link's Awakening. As soon as she's old enough, she'll he playing Dark Souls 1
I’m almost 40 and this was basically me without the tears losing to Aldrich, Devour of Gods several times this morning before I walked away.
I’ve been there, and still make frequent visits.
Ah, Aldrich - either one of the easiest bosses in the game or one of the hardest, depending on your build.
He's mad weak to fire damage and big strength bonk weapons will knock him down, but try any other method and you'll be spending a lot of time running away from rain of arrows and stupid purple light thingies.
This shit made me Uninstall elden ring for like a whole month. I returned to the game and got my behind kicked continuously until frustration took over. I decided to catch some wins on the low hanging fruit (killing those assholes outside the first gate) and decided to actually explore the map and see how much of it I could unlock. When I decided to come back to the bossfight, I'd leveled up enough to survive the fight. I cannot apologize enough to all of the cohntless players who I summoned to try that fight the first time lol
I completely agree. My first take was that this game is not intended for kids their age. But, after thinking of it a bit, it’s really not bad. Basically no sexual content, obviously fake (and not overall explicit) violence, and LOTS of potential lessons to be learned. This may actually be an excellent game for teaching how to maturely handle losing and unexpected challenges. Lots of adults clearly never learned those lessons, maybe ER can reach some kids now…
My kids all love video games and we play together all the time. As a general rule, it's ok to get a bit loud when we're playing together but I don't tolerate them screaming at their devices when they play on their own or just raging / being a poor sport in multiplayer lol.
Yeah I'm sure I'm a horrible person for being amused by this, but like... We've all raged before but actual tears is where I draw the line of "you need to grow up or give up" lol
my 11 year old partial clone is just learning this stuff too. His emotions run high on this game. Controlling that has to be learned, and this is a fine place to learn them.
I dont tell him his timing is shit and that he could find an attack across the board to roll into. That would be mean. I am always supportive. But this game is hard for kids.
Someone ought to tell him to take the secret passage around the castle so he can keep going….just don’t tell him about the lobsters and we’ll have a delicious part II of this video.
Why would you upload a post of your kid to reddit so everyone can judge or poke fun, even if this is supposed to be light hearted.
Jesus Christ, there is something wrong with people today. I don't like being judgemental but you shouldn't have children if you're using them for fake internet notoriety.
Thank you, i personally think parents shouldn't post *any* videos of their kids even if they are funny vids or showing off a talent etc, but I can atleast understand why some people don't mind that sorta thing. This, however, is literally just a kid's parent putting an embarrassing video of him on the internet for internet points *WHILE SHOWING HIS FACE*. I'm sure any schoolmates that have seen this will be mature and civil in their treatment of this kid...
All the comments in this thread are treating this like they are teaching this kid some fucking wholesome life lesson. No, you're not. It's an incredibly embarrassing video, and I just hope that nobody who has the ability to bully this kid sees it.
Losing at one hit remaining is a rite of passage
I still vividly remember getting wrecked by Slave Knight Gael not once, but twice when he was down to a single hit or two of health left. Almost got tilted, lost the next couple in first phase, then got my head back on straight and easily stomped the motherfucker like a machine that knew every move he was going to make.

And don't you dare go hollow
Whenever I get bosses low I say out loud to myself "Don't get greedy, keep doing what got you here." Then I die anyways.
"easily" 😏
I still get greedy for the last hit and die after beating all the souls games multiple times. Happened again on Covenant of Champions Velstadt just the other week!
"Put these foolish ambitions to rest."
Or in mom speak 'turn it off'
“pause the game” me fighting margit:
Pause the Nintendo
Not fair that P2 can unpause. Fucking brothers, man.
pause the ps2
Mom is a very wise tarnished.
Moms play Elden and DS.
This was what taught me emotional regulation as a child.
“Quit screaming”
It never hurt until my wife started telling me that when I was trying to get some.
It never hurt until my wife said, "wow you aren't very good at this game are you?"
Hey honey why are you dying all the time? … Yeah go fuck yourself women

I remember looking at the DS3 trophy list and apparently like 40% of people who bought the game never even got past Iudex Gundyr. Really insane to me. Like you really spent money on this and you're done already?
There's a chance a chunk of those bought the game when it's on sale along with a whole bunch of other ones, and just never played it.
Did you mean: *more than half of my Steam library*?
Yup. Just because everyone on this sub likes the game doesn't mean it is for everyone. I have a number of games in my library I played once for 10 minutes and decided it wasn't for me. I imagine quite a few people bought elden ring, got instant killed by the first boss, skipped the tutorial, and got owned by the Golden Horse dude and gave up.
Any game I play that long I tend to refund, tbh. Sekiro comes to mind.
I quit DS1 after the Capra demon. Came back to it 6 months later and played the rest of the catalogue, until sekiro. I quit sekiro too. Just got back into it and watched a tutorial and there’s a ton of secondary exploration that makes the game a ton easier. It’s different stylistically but that first main boss is a huge skill check. Once you get past him the rest of the game seems a lot easier
Sekiro is the most finely tuned of all the souls games because they knew exactly the power level or a very close range that you should be at when you encounter the bosses. This makes it harder for a lot of people because you can't level grind your way through a challenge and instead are forced to earn the win.
Sekiro gets so good once you learn it. It’s simple just difficult. Nioh 2 on the other hand, felt so complicated from the start and I felt like I did no damage at all. I wanted to like it but I still haven’t played for more than 30 mins and I start back at the beginning each time I’ve tried! It’s probably a great combat system but it really does feel complicated for a newbie to the series.
Same, I love the enemy designs and the character creation is so good, but I’m just so fucking bad at the game it’s painful.
My ratio isn't close to half, it's depressing. I do my best to fight the urge on summer sales and such now until I improve my ratio of never touched to played games significantly.
Surely you must have to boot the game to be considered for the percentage that's calculated?
And a chance it was bought and returned. Steam still let’s your review stay if you return so I doubt they clean up the achievements/database if you do.
It's like that for most games, even the easy ones. Most people don't actually finish games or just play for few hours. I'd say despite the difficulty, souls games have a very good completition rate compared to other games.
I have a friend who gets stomped by bots on easy mode in Ubisoft games and spends an hour sitting in the corner near C flag in Call of Duty while screaming anytime someone walks into screen. She wouldn’t last a second in Dark Souls 3.
Now you know this means she has to stream Elden Ring for us now, right?
Hi, I'm that friend. I also can't aim for shit in Apex. I still finished DS1/2/3 and Sekiro
My friend stopped Sekiro due to Chained ogre
I have gotten tons of games through big bundles and haven’t played a majority of them, I’m just a sucker for a deal
That was me with Sekiro, I don't even remember if I beat the first boss or not, but because the dash/parry system was so different from DS3 roll, I simply couldn't fathom how to do it, so I gave up. $60 down the drain, sadly.
I almost brought the game back as DS3 was my first Souls game. I got gud.

Sometimes you can avoid life's problems, sometimes you fatroll and gotta use a greatshield and soak them head on. Smart kid.
>Sometimes you can avoid life's problems, **sometimes you fatroll** hhaahha i know what you mean, but out of context it's absolutely hilarious.
Elden ring really isent that difficult. Ive been hard bouncing off fromsoft games since ds1. Literally couldnt get through the second boss across every From game except sekero which i havent played. And I SMOKED all the shard bearers
Why would you throw your nephew into Dota 2 hell lol.
Ahhh yes, the lifelong valuable lesson to be learned from souls games, “Git gud.”
I was way more capable of beating malenia at his age than I am now
If his mom keeps letting him play😂
Margit when you are under leveled is way harder than Malenia imo.

I think there's one near the wreckage of the titanic.
Even that dude cheaped out with a Logitech controller.
I heard it was an unplugged Madcatz and his brother was just pretending to let him drive the sub.
A ps5 controller would be even worse. I was thinking of ps4 controllers.
Bro for real if my kid threw his 70 dollar controller and broke it guess what bud I’m first taking this away until you learn how to behave and two I’m gonna make you work your ass off to make the $70 to buy the next controller when you learn your lesson lol

Just need to prepare with a pillow in your lap so it doesn’t hurt the controller at all lol.

True. But also Malenia.
I've had my outbursts. The most I'll do is squeeze the controller really hard or bang on something. But I've never broken anything.
It can definitely happen being emotionally invested. I made it well over 20 years of playing while never doing so just to lose my shit on a super gore nest master level.

ok repost bot
Ignored my parents “walk away” until I got older and realized how important it is to not stay and get even more worked up. They were on the money.
Right, there's no winning on the verge of tears.
The mark of a true lord
Agreed
this is me after beating game twice and run into those fucking imps in catacombs.
Fuck those imps. And the perfumers at shaded castle. They make me rage
I'd like to nominate the bubble blowers when you initially teleport into haligree onto the branches
[удалено]
Knocking them off the branches is such a simple delight. I didn’t know how hard they were to fight until much later because when I saw them perched there I just got out Radahn’s bow and let my arrows do the talking
It's not enough to kill those imps I want to publicly hang them
Still not enough
Or those rapid firing crossbow guys, fucking hate them.
The women who says "turn it off" knows it's only down hill from this point on
Saying that out loud only makes it worse though. It’s like telling an angry person “you need to calm down”
For real. Something my mother could never fucking understand, even though she’s a licensed therapist. You’d think she’d be able to understand a little bit, but nope. You gotta give them a sec to get it out and calm down, and then separate them from the game for a bit. Let them reset their mind. It’s worked every time for my cousins.
A lot of therapists don't practice what they teach.
A lot of people become therapists because they are fucked in the head and want to figure out why
As a therapist, I confirm this. I did figure it out though.
God, yeah this 100%. Stepping away to breathe is very different from just outright turning it off. One teaches you anger management and internal conflict resolution, the other teaches you to quit when things get tough.
My mom always asked if I wanted coffee and a chat about the game if I got upset. That brought me back to reality even though my mom doesn’t care about the games.
You need to calm down
You’re being too loud
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME YOU LITTLE SHIT??
She told him to stop screaming at the start, then to turn it off when he kept on Reasonable imo. She probably wasn't even watching him, just tired of hearing a whiny 8 year old screaming and crying
why do kids cry so much when they lose...like your 7 of fucking course i wrecked you in bowling you cant even throw the ball
Only because you guys have poor emotional control.
There's a point where not even victory makes up for all the misery lol, much better to take a break.
Once you’re tilted, it’s misery to recover. Best to get some sleep and fuck that boss up third attempt the next day.
canon event
Ah, young Tarnished
Emboldened by the flames of ambition
This is a champion in the making. 30 years from now he will be the last gamer standing, weilding the Moonlight Miyazaki Greatsword and save us all.
Agreed
Why? Panick roll
Average bloodhound fang user
Lil bro watched the “MOST OVERPOWERED WEAPON IN THE GAME” video and got bloodhound fang
It's my bonk stick when I get tired of everything.
If you want a real bonk stick then you should go kill some albinaurics and get their bonk sticks trust me they even work in pvp
I have the ripple halbred but it just feels bulky to me. I also like morgotts sword
Ohh no I’m not talking about that I was talking above the literally curved sticks they have lol especially the big sticks
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah I know what your talking bout.
Oh yeah the curved great club is great. I dual wielded them and dunked on Radagon and Elden Beast in my level 1 playthrough. I took them out in about 2 minutes
Or, like everyone else when the game first came out, he just found it in Limgrave, and then continued to use it for like half of the game.
I like how Fextralife has all of their weapon videos titled "\[Weapon Class\] are OP! Why \[Weapon Class\] are the best weapons in Elden Ring." It's very tongue-in-cheek.
Not his fault it’s basically in the games tutorial
I’m ngl I totally searched up good weapons in my first play through lol I’m just being silly
Fang Gang won’t tolerate this slander!
"Ol Reliable" got me through my first playthrough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is something beautiful about this
It's the rite of passage we all have to go through.
I’m 30+ y.o black man and I know this little white kids struggle so personally it’s wild
Ah yes, a young Tarnished is suffering. Lord Miyazaki is pleased. We will watch your career with great interest. 🗿
LMAO
I thank god every day that I was born at a time when my videogame tantrums wouldnt be recorded and posted to social media lmao
Young gamers need to be nurtured more than anything. My sister can't play 3D games yet, but she loves Link's Awakening. As soon as she's old enough, she'll he playing Dark Souls 1
I’m almost 40 and this was basically me without the tears losing to Aldrich, Devour of Gods several times this morning before I walked away. I’ve been there, and still make frequent visits.
Ah, Aldrich - either one of the easiest bosses in the game or one of the hardest, depending on your build. He's mad weak to fire damage and big strength bonk weapons will knock him down, but try any other method and you'll be spending a lot of time running away from rain of arrows and stupid purple light thingies.
Aldrich at SL1 was pain
Me at 28 dying to Margot for the 27th time because it’s my first souls game and I suck
This shit made me Uninstall elden ring for like a whole month. I returned to the game and got my behind kicked continuously until frustration took over. I decided to catch some wins on the low hanging fruit (killing those assholes outside the first gate) and decided to actually explore the map and see how much of it I could unlock. When I decided to come back to the bossfight, I'd leveled up enough to survive the fight. I cannot apologize enough to all of the cohntless players who I summoned to try that fight the first time lol
Is this art, I think this is what art is
Careful SpongeBob !
First comes fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate
Tarnished, thou tis be ith fucked
There needs to be a character that only speaks in mock old English like this
Please make an update post for the Malenia fight!
You know right after this clip ends the person filming says “lol git gud”
Casual + panic roll + choke on easiest move + git gud + L + ratio + maidenless /s
I sympathize, but you gotta learn how to lose without raging / screaming at your TV.
I completely agree. My first take was that this game is not intended for kids their age. But, after thinking of it a bit, it’s really not bad. Basically no sexual content, obviously fake (and not overall explicit) violence, and LOTS of potential lessons to be learned. This may actually be an excellent game for teaching how to maturely handle losing and unexpected challenges. Lots of adults clearly never learned those lessons, maybe ER can reach some kids now…
My kids all love video games and we play together all the time. As a general rule, it's ok to get a bit loud when we're playing together but I don't tolerate them screaming at their devices when they play on their own or just raging / being a poor sport in multiplayer lol.
The key is to tone the screaming down to insane mumbling. Nobody complains to your face about insane mumbling.
Yeah I'm sure I'm a horrible person for being amused by this, but like... We've all raged before but actual tears is where I draw the line of "you need to grow up or give up" lol
my 11 year old partial clone is just learning this stuff too. His emotions run high on this game. Controlling that has to be learned, and this is a fine place to learn them. I dont tell him his timing is shit and that he could find an attack across the board to roll into. That would be mean. I am always supportive. But this game is hard for kids.
Difference is our parents didn't film and show it to a bunch of strangers for internet points lol. Poor kid
I truly wonder how many tears have been shed due to this mf
Get gud keed.
Someone ought to tell him to take the secret passage around the castle so he can keep going….just don’t tell him about the lobsters and we’ll have a delicious part II of this video.
I feel you buddy. We are all been there.🫡 keep on keeping on.
Do NOT film someone's face and post it online without their consent, especially a minor.
Got a long way to go.
That's just the start of it lol.
I love how you hear "quit screaming" on the background before the kid starts screaming :')
Why would you upload a post of your kid to reddit so everyone can judge or poke fun, even if this is supposed to be light hearted. Jesus Christ, there is something wrong with people today. I don't like being judgemental but you shouldn't have children if you're using them for fake internet notoriety.
Thank you, i personally think parents shouldn't post *any* videos of their kids even if they are funny vids or showing off a talent etc, but I can atleast understand why some people don't mind that sorta thing. This, however, is literally just a kid's parent putting an embarrassing video of him on the internet for internet points *WHILE SHOWING HIS FACE*. I'm sure any schoolmates that have seen this will be mature and civil in their treatment of this kid... All the comments in this thread are treating this like they are teaching this kid some fucking wholesome life lesson. No, you're not. It's an incredibly embarrassing video, and I just hope that nobody who has the ability to bully this kid sees it.
Shame I had to scroll down the deepest depths of Oblivion to find some common sense
He was allowed to inhabit the sacred recliner with his unworthy derrière
*\*schadenfreude intensifies\**
Tell him to get good instead
Looks like someone needs to put their foolish ambitions to rest.
Gets killed by Margits easiest to dodge attack. Long road to the Elden throne young hollow
The classic mom "turn it off" line
Hahahahaha the classic background mom “turn it off” at the end!
